Angkor What?

Hello from cambodia, after the longest bus journey ever we arrived in Siem Reap in cambodia, it took us 12 hours on the bus (that was air conditioned, thank god!!)and it was also the scariest bus journey of my life. In cambodia they lack what i would call decent road in fact it would be a stretch to call it a road at all! It has pot holes the size of Omagh in it and when it rains thats when the fun starts, its like an ice rink which is a random description considering the heat. They dont have a particular side of the road they drive on its all fair game for cars, buses, bikes, scooters cows and the occasional terrified looking traveller! But we made it here in one piece and apparently the worst is over and we luckily are flying back to Bangkok from Vietnam, Phew.With the Intrepid crew now and we've been very lucky as they are a great bunch of people. We went to the Angkor Wat temple yesterday and it really is something else, its difficult to put into words the sheer size of the place but got some great photos so watch out for them, we also discovered a great little bar called Angkor What? (get it?)and it is best best bar in the world (so far)tiny little place with people packed in, 50p beers, a half bottle of wiskey in a busket with ice coke and red bull for 2 quid (don't worry mum i stayed clear, it tasted like bananna medicine ad you know how well that used to go down)and some rocking music.I really wasn't sure what we were letting ourselves in for coming to this part of aisa but has been cracking fun so far.Any how must head on as the heat in this internet cafe starting to get to me.Love Michelle x o
